Jalapeño Popper Stuffed Chicken
with homemade guacamole & cream cheese
We’re repurposing a classic breakfast cereal for a super crunchy crumb coating on a jalapeño popper-inspired chicken breast, stuffed with a flavourful filling of cream cheese, flavourful sun-dried tomatoes, spicy jalapeños & spring onion. Served with steamed couscous, dotted with pops of sweet corn, rich kidney beans & tomato.

CHEESY CHILLI & Couscous
Boil the kettle. To a bowl, add the sun-dried Tomatoes, the cream cheese, the jalapeños, ½ the spring onion (to taste) and seasoning. Mix to combine and set aside. Place the Couscous in a bowl with 50ml [100ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Stir through a drizzle of olive oil and seasoning. Cover and steam until rehydrated, 5-8 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
STUFF THE Chicken
Pat the Chicken breast/s dry with paper towel and place on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, slice into one side of the chicken, starting at the thicker end and ending at the thin side (do not cut all the way through). Open up the chicken so that it resembles a butterfly. Cover with cling wrap and pummel with a rolling pin to create an even thickness. Season the inside of the chicken. Spread the tomato-jalapeño filling onto one side of the breast. Fold the other side over the filling and secure with toothpicks so it stays closed. [Repeat|#7DA0D7 this|#7DA0D7 with|#7DA0D7 the|#7DA0D7 remaining|#7DA0D7 breast]|#7DA0D7.
SPICY CRUMBED Chicken
Whisk 1 egg in a bowl. Prepare two shallow dishes: one containing the spiced flour (seasoned lightly), and one containing the Cornflake crumb. Coat the stuffed Chicken in the seasoned flour, dusting off any excess. Coat in the whisked egg, and lastly, the crumb. Repeat this with the remaining breast. Place a pan (with a lid) over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the chicken until golden, 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the pan and rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Alternatively, air fry at 200°C until crispy and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Remove from the air fryer, slice, and season.
LOADED Couscous
To a small bowl, add the Corn, the kidney beans, the Tomatoes, the Couscous, the remaining spring onion, olive oil and seasoning. Set aside.
GUACAMOLE
Halve the Avocado and remove the pit. Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and mash with a fork and season.
